GLENWOOD SPRINGS — For a 69-year-old man who has been legally blind since last year, Nick Isenberg manages to get around pretty well.
On a recent Sunday, Isenberg completed his 70th hike up Transfer Trail over the past four years, a 2.5-mile, 1,300-vertical-foot trek to the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park upper gondola terminus, high on Iron Mountain.
As usual, once he made it to the top, he grabbed a gondola ride back down the mountain.
“It’s easier on the knees,” he explained.
Isenberg achieved a goal that he set for himself three years ago — to climb Transfer Trail 70 times by the time he reached his 70th birthday June 10.
